Alibaba Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company is mixed, with some customers appreciating the variety and affordability of products offered. However, significant concerns dominate the feedback, particularly regarding customer service and support. Many users report frustrating experiences with delayed refunds, ineffective communication, and unresolved product quality issues, often feeling misled by the company's assurances. The Trade Assurance program is frequently described as inadequate, failing to protect buyers effectively. This combination of positive product experiences and pervasive service challenges suggests a need for improved customer support and better oversight of suppliers to enhance overall customer satisfaction.

Fannie with Yiwu Shicai Import And Export Co., Ltd. is a life saver! After going through vendor after vendor with tons of let downs with other suppliers with their poor quality, size un true, delayed shipping over and over, I found Fannie's shop and will continue to give her my business! I've ordered 3 times thus far from womens clothing to sandals and the quality is perfect! Def recommend this shop!

Love Using Alibaba
July 24, 2020

I have been using Alibaba for over 10 years. I consider it the eBay of China. Alibaba has reviewed the companies that are on the site and that's a plus! I have never had a bad experience and I have order shirts, vinyl & glitter lettering, crystals, hats and now face shields.

Scam
July 23, 2020

This company is impossible to get ahold of anyone. They have numbers that automatically disconnect others which have a busy signal.
The company I supposedly purchased from was a 10 day shipment. However two months later in still waiting. No items, no refund and no legitimate phone number to dispute
Never will I use this service for any future business or personal needs.

LOVE ALIBABA!
July 24, 2020

It is so much fun working on alibaba, so many items and suppliers! Not always easy to find the right supplier and you need to be willing to wait a month before items arrive, overall I think there is not much better way to buy stock out there. Especially if you just started an online business and cannot buy huge quantity.

Make 5 purchases via Alibaba. Everything could have been perfect.
But big black spot: the euro-dollar exchange rate used at the time of payment. This rate is not the market and has always been against me (which translates into a surplus of about 1% of my purchases). The customer service does not give me any satisfactory explanation. Hoping that this doesn't happen again on my next orders.
